Years From the Incompetency of
PhysicIans-Eelief at Last.

Mrs. T., a lady residing In country town in
Indiana, tells the following painful story: ~
had taken treatment from physicians about
nine years and had never received any perma.
nent relief until l took your Compound. l
thought never should get well, and cried a
good deal of my time A year ago this sum
mer was confined to my bed and room for
five months under the Doctors care. l at last
made up my mind to quit him and try yolr
compound, and with what joyful RESULT Oh!
feel so glad that tried II and so sorry that
did not get hold of II nine years ago." The
foregoing from letter to Mrs Lydia E, Pink
ham, and sufferers, by taking her Vegetable
Compound, may escape the writer's regret for
years wasted in hopeless agony.

BEARS CONTROL TIE MARKET.
Feverish Fluctuations, with Prices
Way Down nc the Close.

Way Down at the Close.
New YORK, Feb. 14,-The new week on
the stock exchange opened with a dull and
generally featureless market, the larger
operators, in consequence OF the uncer-
talnties in the situation, again holding of,
while the transactions are mainly left to
the professionals. London was very quiet,
some selling OF Erie being the most i'm
portant transaction by that interest for the
day. The trading, while dull, and with
fluctuations confined to very narrow
limits, was somewhat feyerish throughout
the day.
In the last hour there was general SELL
ing movement induced by the bears, ostea-
sibly on advices OF commercial troubles
elsewhere. The market was generally firm
early In the day, but the preponderance Of
bearish sentiment among the room traders
later had the effect Of sagging prices off
slowly, which was checked In some meas
ure by the movements In the Loulsvllle and
Nashville and Richmond aud West Point, but
even these failed to hold the market against
the pressure to sell toward the close. The
advance In sterling exchange rates and the
general expectation OF bear raid upon the
resumption OF exports Of specie was an i'm
portant factor In the dullness and weakness
shown.
The last hour saw decided break upon
a more active business, and the close was
weak at the lowest figures Of the day.
Money on call has been easy, ranging
from 3 80, last loan at 4, and closing Of
fered at Q. Sterling exchange is fairly active
and firm. Actual business at 4S6l to 4SCa for
60 day bills, and 1881 to 4SS9 for demand.
Posted rates 4SG to 4S9. Government
bonds have been dull and steady. State
bonds have been dull and steady.

Subsidiary silver Coin.

The joint resolution introduced in the
Senate by Mr.. Morrill, for the issue Of sub
sidiary silver coin repeals so much of the
joint resolution approved July 90, 1876, as
limits the amount of subsidiary silver coin
outstanding at any time to $4,000, 900.
The resolution then provides that in order
to procure bullion for the subsidiary silver
coinage authorized by law, the director Of
the mint, with the approval of the Secretary
Of the Treasury as to price, terms, aud
quantity, shall purchase such bullion with
the bullion fund. provided, however, that
the amount coined into half dollars, quarter
dollars, and dimes shall be regulated by the
Secretary Of the Treasury.

Want to Conform to the Requirements
of the Interstate Commerce Law.

Association, which embraces all the princi-

states and the steamer lines between north.
ern and southern points, at its recent meet
ing in New York discussed the interstate
commerce act with the view of arriving at
the true intent Of the law regarding the
operation Of the association. The follow
ing resolution was offered, and was referred
for action to q general convention Of the
association, which will be held in this city
March 2, 1887:
Rtsoiled, That the rate committee be re-
quested TO revise all rates to and from all ter
ritory In Southern Railway and Steamship As
sociation, and to establish such rates In con-
fCrmity with the interstate commerce bill and
report to executive committee before putting
same In effect. and 1t is the sense OF this meet
ing that the fourth clause of said bill should be
so construed as to permit railroads and traus-
portaiion lines to charge lower rate for long
distances than for shorter distances whenever
II is necessary 10 establish such rates for the
long distances in competition with water lines.

GOV. FORAKER'S BOOM.
He is Being Discussed as n Possible
Presidential Nominee.

New York World
The gathering of so many Republicans at
the Lincoln Club dinner naturally led to
much informal talk about the presidency
and the most "available" man to be nomi-
mated next year. Gov. Foraker made Il
decided hit and his boom may be regarded
as having assumed tangible shape. Gov.
did not suggest "Foraker for 1891 In his
remarks the night before from sudden
impulse. He ehad watched the young Buck
eye govern or 6 canvass carefully aud believed
that Foraker would make an excellent
standard-bearer in 1856. Gov. Foraker re-
ceived shower of congratulations yester-
day and many Of them echoed Gov.
Oglesby's sentiments-"Forake for 1885,"
Mrs. Foraker, who came here with the
governor, looked very much pleased when
the SSsubject was mentioned. Mr.. Foraker
however turned 1t of good naturedly and
modestly deprecated any move to thrust
himself forward as presidential candidate.
Two days ago Mr.. Foraker stated In an
interview that he thought John Sherman
was entitled to the Ohio delegates next
year. What his opinion on the subject is
to-day would be OF interest.
sits just sherman's luck to have rival
spring up in his own state" said an Ohio
man yesterday. "In 1880 1t was
Garfield, and In 1854 Foster OPP
posed him. In 1883 Foraker win
probably loom up and dash his hopes to the
ground. II Sherman had been able to hold
his own state delegation In the past he
might have been nominated aud elected.
He realizes that keenly and is in no mood
TO triile with men like Foraker. II Sherman
does not hold the Ohio delegation next
year you may rest assured that 10 will not

would be difficult for any one to sustain
such position. The very fact that steel
possesses an inherent strength and elastic
limit superior to cast or wrought iron was
argument sufficient years ago for its at.
tempted use, while the fact that that effort
In Europe has, been largely crowned by
success Is argument beyond controversy
why an effort should be made In this coun-
try, not only for the production OF more
reliable steel than that produced abroad,
but for the development OF our steel In
dustries to such point as shall secure fill
ing at a satisfactory rate the wants OF the
government for naval aud military pur-
poses, however pressing they may be. Toe
popular idea OF steel Is metal OF remark
able strength, toughness, aud elasticity,
and the great difficulty OF preserving
these qualities In gun masses Is little re-
allied. OF cast iron II is perhaps safe to
say that its true qualities and possibilities
have been entirely underestimated. The
theoretical possibilities of steel appeal to
popular approval, and we have fashion and
European precedent to qualify any possible
failures. We are free to say that we do not
believe any failure will result from the use
OF steel, only that success In It's broadest
sense may be long delayed. And this brings
us TO nearer understanding OF the true
position OF those who advocate, with more
or less qualification, the use OF cast iron for
heavy ordnance. Candor compels a recog.
milton OF their position, which may perhaps
be stated briefly, yet with sufficient exact
ness, as follows:
"We are practically without rlGel guns
for either ships or forts. The experience
of foreign countries proves that suitable
guns can be made. But this same expe-
TieDce shows such percentage OF failures
as to prove that in thirty years, under
enormous patronage, the art Of making re-
liable heavy steel forgings has not been
ought not to be behind other nations on
question Of such vital Importance. There
fore, let every energy be bent toward the
development ana encouragement OF our
steel industries, to the end that we may not
only be able to produce gun-steel equal
10 but more reliable than that produced
abroad. But we know how slow aud
tedious such building-up process Is. We
